2008-01-09 Thread Scott Saunders
I know it's possible to set specific schedules for backups per host using $Conf{FullPeriod}, $Conf{IncPeriod}, and $Conf{FullKeepCnt}among others, but I was wondering if there is a way to do scheduling specific to a smaller subset of that - being per shares on the same host. Any ideas/solution
